Posted by kimr on

At Chick-fil-A Gainesville (TX) (Gainesville, TX) on Monday morning, Mrs. Kim read books about friendship. The kids also made friendship bracelets. Stringing beads is an excellent way for kids to develop fine motor skills, and it’s fun too!

August 9 is Smokey Bear’s 80th birthday! We celebrated his birthday in July and learned about fire safety. The little kids made a map so they can go on an imaginary bear hunt while the older kids made animal stick puppets.
